Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Romegren is from a pillow dragon farm on the outskirts of the port of Steldon, where she and other pillow dragons are sheared for their fur. Her inherently lazy attitude makes this a perfect 'job' for her, and she doesn't mind that she's thought of as little more than livestock so long as she is still respected. She spends her days napping in a barn with all her needs cared for by the farmer; she is dimwitted and doesn't seem to have much of a personality to her, except that she likes to spend her few waking hours batting at toys.
